I don’t believe your premise that such a large share of the available jobs are low skill that there is no room for people to move on to something better. If you look at fast food for example I’m seeing there are about 2.5 million workers w

I happened upon the r/AntiWork comments section from time to time before that Fox News segment and it always struck me as full of people who were making every excuse not to take responsibility for their own circumstances and who have a

The author seems to make a point of minimizing the crime of trying to commit arson with fire bombs because the perpetrators weren’t successful in burning the building down as a rational for why this was somehow an over reach. Seems like a

You seem to be trying to trivialize inflation by implying it is only effecting goods that are not essential, ie: chicken wings. The reality is the inflation has been broad across a lot of essential goods that a family needs. So to the ext

I had a professor once that said he found his most professionally successful students weren’t the ones who got A’s but the B students and he calked it up to the notion that the B students were better able to know where the maximum return on

Unless the owner is letting the property sit empty it isn’t going to have an effect on the supply/ demand balance of housing. Where you live is always going to have financial consequences that can’t be ignored.

Wether a house is rented or owned by the person occupying it doesn’t effect the basic supply/ demand dynamics of the market. Punitive taxes on landlords isn’t going to cause housing prices to come down because the cause of high prices

Wether you like it or not owning a home is always an investment. Perhaps not a good one but an investment non the less. To act like there are two types of people and that one disadvantaging the other because of their preference is silly.

You can use whatever denominator you want but blind obedience to the law isn’t ever going to be a measure of safety.

by pmorici 5y ago
Safety is measured in accidents per mile driven, lower being better. While there maybe a loose correlation strict obedience to the law is not in itself a measure of safety.

They are wholly owned by GM are they not? Starting this way doesn’t preclude them taking Tesla’s vision only approach in the future. Even Tesla initially had a radar vision combination approach before moving to pure vision. The real ques

Wether a corporation owns the home and rents it out or the home is owner occupied their is still someone living there. That doesn’t effect the supply demand dynamics. Those families have to live somewhere. It may seem vaguely unfair that t

A government that takes on debt in its own currency like the US isn’t going to default except perhaps as a political stunt. The likely outcome is that they let inflation eat away at the debt until the ratio of debt to GDP is back to a more

Demand and lack of new supply. After the housing bubble in 2008 there was a major contraction of new home construction. It has been slowly recovering ever since but is still off the highs by quite a bit. So the combination of very low rat

To the contrary if people are repeatedly violating the law in the willful and obvious way that is exactly what bail should be used for. The bottom line is that they are seeing a lot of repeat offenders something is going to have to give.

They can’t be everywhere at once but they should be apprehending repeat offenders it sounds like they are arresting plenty of criminals they just aren’t being prosecuted so they continue to rob and pillage.

UP implies they believe there have been zero prosecutions. If there were any resulting from the arrests they made they would have had to be involved as witnesses and they say they haven’t been contacted in that capacity.

I don’t think so, a private party can sue someone for money but not to directly pursue criminal charges to jail a person without the government being involved.

Basically in LA County the elected DA isn’t prosecuting anything but the most serious crimes and even then is taking an approach of extreme leniency even in particularly heinous cases of violent crime. https://www.city-journal.or

The local prosecutor is extremely lenient and just lets even obvious serial offenders go under the guise of criminal justice reform.

Two thoughts. 1) The biggest benefit of this is manufacturing speed and cost neither of which affect you, especially since prices have been rising due to demand outstripping supply at the moment would be kind of silly to put off buying a ca
